So I was reading Matthew 24 and 25 yesterday morning before I fell asleep (I'm a night owl with a 3rd shift job lol), and I couldn't help but notice how stumped I was at the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30.
It succeeds the Parable of the Ten Virgins, but I'm confused as to the outcome of the 3rd servant, who hid his talent away in the earth, and the master being disappointed with him. This caused the 3rd servant to be thrown into, "outer darkness," Jesus' euphemism for hell.
I believe we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ upon asking Him to be our Savior, and believing the death, burial, and resurrection. The parable just sounds to me like faith in Jesus alone isn't enough, but we must also work to keep that faith. Or am I completely off the mark? Any help with this study would be greatly appreciated!
Also I'm not sure if this has been talked about before. I'm new here, although I roamed the boards for a while and am glad now to be here
